There are three basic design techniques – color, shapes and texture      Color is a very strong element that has an major impact on your mood.

                                                           Everyone has some things that make them happy, things that remind them about beautiful moments in their lives... But why we keep them in boxes and just occasionally find these things and put them back?      As I thing, we should surround us with such kind of things that make us feel happy and warm. Don't buy home accessories just because they are considered to be in vogue. Buy something you really like, something that make you smile. Or, even better, DIY something with your family and place this object on a coffee table or on a shelf. Arrange your favorite books in a noticeable place; do the same with some photos etc.      I wish you good luck ;)     ALSO SEE: 10 Interior Design L...

     Today when I came home I noticed that something was missing in my room. Only at the end of the day, I realized that it was my wall-clock. My brother broke it while playing football in my room. Now he is persona non grata :D Then I understood a clock is an inevitable element in my room. I was totally disorganized. Moreover without it, the space is empty. A clock helps me to become more responsible and give a specific charm to my interior design. The right clock can add your personality to a room.      Table clocks also are very popular. They can be used on the table, in bookshelves, on the nightstand, or desk. In my opinion tabletop clocks combine functionality with style and can add your unique style to your home. Whether your interiors style is traditional, contemporary etc. you can find that perfect timepiece to enhance the décor of your house.      So I am looking for a new wall-clock and I'd ...

     Hi everybody! As I promised in previous post, this article will contain information about mistakes we often make in arranging our rooms. In order to avoid them we should pay much attention to details. Of course, without trying we wouldn’t know that it is wrong :). As said Albert Einstein “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”. Too many accessories Too many accessories will create an impression of disorder. So, it is very important for you to use just some elements of décor, so to give a “feature” to your interior, without creating an impression of chaos. Mats in the bathroom Carpets in the bathroom are one of the most common mistakes. Even I had a carpet in my bathroom. It was so uncomfortable… Why I consider this a mistake? Because mats in the bathroom haven’t any practical utility (I'm talking about fiber carpets). They retain moisture, reduce the spa...

DO NOT let anyone decide for you. Your house is your personal space, so decisions should be exclusively yours! But this doesn’t mean that you have to avoid specialist advice. DO NOT rush to paint. First of all you have to choose materials, carpets and upholstery. DO NOT decide in the store what colors to choose. Never buy paint after one visit to the store. You have to ask for colored samples and then analyze them carefully in natural and artificial light. DO NOT turn your favorite color in main color. If red is your favorite color don’t paint all the walls in red. You may use it to accentuate especial elements, using as a background another color, so red things would become the spotlight. DO NOT ignore the psychological effects . Every color has an effect on our psyche. Even if you like bold colors you don’t have to exaggerate with their use. Do not forget the atmosphere of the room depends on the chosen color scheme. DO NOT apply fo...

On weekends I like to stay in my bed…reading, watching TV, solving crosswords...I often felt the need to place somewhere things I use. I put them under the bed or beside me, then ruin or ribed them. It was so uncomfortable and also all of them look horible and create an atmosphere of disorder. Suddenly an idea came to me a pocket to bed))) I am feeling much better now. Here I hold supplies, phone, book that I read, magazines, etc. Try this! To make a bed-pocket you need: a piece of material with length about 62cm width 40cm, needle, thread and scissors. That's all Let's start working! 1. Measure the length from the bed to the floor(subtract about 5-10cm in length for pocket not to touch the floor) 2. Then sew the fabric as illustrated 3. Fix it to your bed 4. Enjoy it :)
